LMB, LRA to share databases for efficient land transactions
The Land Management Bureau (LMB) of the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) and the Land Registration Authority (LRA) now agrees to share land data in an online system designed to provide the public with hassle-free land transactions.
Joint DENR-LRA Memorandum Circular No. 1 was issued on February 3, 2021 allowing the two agencies to implement and operationalize a system linkage that will help ease of doing business in the Philippines, with respect to processing and issuance of patents up to its registration.
LMB Director Emelyne V. Talabis said that this innovation is part of the efforts of the government to streamline processes and improve the quality of frontline services to the public.
“We are glad that we were able to push for this innovation after a series of dialogues with LRA. Finally, we came up with this standard procedure and system protocols that will surely relieve land title applicants from tediously requesting and submitting land records from each agency as part of the verification and registration requirements,” Talabis said.
Using a software intermediary called Application Programming Interface (API), the LMB’s Land Administration and Management System (LAMS) will be connected with the LRA’s Philippine Land Registration and Information System (PHILARIS) without physically accessing and manipulating the databases servers and compromising data security of each agency. The mechanics of the data sharing and linkage is now being ironed out by the two (2) offices.
“This is very timely as we face the COVID19 pandemic. We can eliminate manual submission of documents and will lessen face-to-face transactions from clients”, Talabis stressed out.

Dec. 31 deadline for application of agricultural free patent stressed
Manila Bulletin (mb.com.ph)
Published December 6, 2020, 10:47 AM
The Department of Environment and Natural Resources reminded Filipino farmers who want to avail themselves of the government’s agricultural free patent program that they have only until the end of the month to file their application.
The DENR-Land Management Bureau said Community Environment and Natural Resources Offices (CENROs) nationwide will no longer accept applications beyond the Dec. 31 deadline set under the Republic Act 9176, otherwise known as the Public Land Act of 2002.
The law extended the filing of applications for free patent and judicial confirmation of imperfect and incomplete titles to alienable and disposable lands of public domain, thus, amending Commonwealth Act 141 or the original Public Land Act.
Agricultural free patents are land grants awarded to natural-born Filipino citizens in actual occupation and cultivation for at least 30 years of alienable and disposable lands not more than 12 hectares, and have paid the corresponding real property taxes.
“Our field offices continue to accept agricultural free patent applications to give those who have been cultivating their lots for a long time the chance to have the same titled in their names,” LMB Director Emelyne Talabis said.
